Why John Hartley ranks #75 in Tennis
John Hartley ranks 75th among Tennis athletes on GOAT Rank and 1234th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 80, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Tennis reference universe of 251 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1878–1890 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1884, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes wimbledon titles 2, wimbledon finals 3, consecutive titles 2, career years 13.
Immediately ahead sits Andrés Gómez on 81.8, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Hana Mandlíková on 81.5. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
